resent an aggregate wealth of upward

Postmaster General Villas to-day. The
petitions are from importers and mer-
chants of New York, Philadelphia,

Cincinnati, New Orleans, Charleston,
Buffalo, San Francisco and Portland,
Or. They express their appreciation of
the successful efforts made by POstmaS-
ter General Villas to expedite the mails
from this country to Europe, and re-
quest the postmaster general to use his
good Offices with the postal administra-
tions of other countries to adopt the sys-
TEN inaugurated by the United States
of dispatching mails by the first and
fastest steamers without regard to the
flag under which they sail. They urge
this new system as it would greatly
facilitate importers in their business.
Delays in mail deliveries in many

ance, as goods frequently arrive before

sary to enter the goods. Superintend-

Conflicting Authority.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 29.-The threat
cned conflict between the civil and mil
itary forces at the Round Valley, Cal,
reservation has been averted by instruc-
tions sent by the secretary of war. to
Gen. Howard TO withdraw the United
States troops now Oh the reservation
pending a judicial settlement of the
matter. ltis learned at the war depart
ment that company of soldiers under
command of Capt. Shaw was ordered to
eject number of SquatterS from the
reservation at the request of the interior
department. An INDUCTION was obtained
by the SquatterS from 4 state court, and
as the captain of the United States forces
refused to obey it, the state militia was
called upon to enforce the courts order.
At this juncture the attorney general
appealed the case to the United States
court and at his suggestion Capt. Shaw
was directed to discontinue further pro-
ceedingS. 1t was while this appeal was
pending tnat the sheriff began his move
ment looking to the arrest of the mill
tary force. The order sent to Gen.
Howard to withdraw the military force
is expected to prevent an immediate
conflict. but the question of jurisdiction
involved is regarded at the department
as of the gravest Importance. 1t has
cropped out in one shape or another in
all of the Indian outbreaks of the last
few years whenever the state OF terri
torial authorities have attempted 10
make arrests on Indian or military
reservations. and a final settlement of
the conflicting rights of state and fed
eral authorities over government reser-
vations is earnestly desired by military
officers

day in and day out, simply because
the name of religion is invoked
and abused. This positive and highly
fragrant nuisance might be supported
if it were to last but for a single day,
or one day out of seven, but no human
patience could be expected to stand it
as a steady proposition. The Chief OF
Police is perfectly right in checking
it, and by so doing he is in no earthly
danger of outraging the feelings OF
really religious people. These last
have no sympathy with the outland-
ish pranks of the so-called Salvation
Army. 1t is a matter of great Curl
ositv with multitudes of Americans as
to where the money comes from that
maintains these exotic fanatics. They
are supposed to have originated in
England, and to be like the seven
year locusts and other pests, sporadic
and abatable. The Chief of Police,
while preventing these persons from
riding over the peaceable and law
abiding citizen, should also see to it
that the spirit of hoodlumism, which
has been far too rampant during the
past day or two, should also be sternly
repre- ssed. The one nuisance is fla
grant as the other,
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-18

The right OF any class of persons to
openly profess such religious belief as
approves itself to their consciences is
dear to the people Of the United States,
and there is little danger of its ever
being interferred with. Our city just
now is being made the scene of antics
OF peculiar and fanatical kind by a
detachment of the Salvation Army. 1t
is not too much to say that these per-
sons have made themselves nuisance
OF an intolerable order. In crowded
street the danger of accident from
horses taking fright at the fourjshing
of tambourines, blaring of trumpets
and beating OF cymbals and drums is
of itself not inconsiderable, as many
can testify who have occasion to drive
spirited horses during the hours OF
these Deryish demonstrations. In adj
dition, the pedestrian has rights which
these people ought to be made to re-
spect, and 80 have the men who pay
licenses for the privilege Of selling
merchandise. 1t is scarcely the right

The "grand old man" is getting il
his work ON Salisbury in fine style

cate a radical change in favor of the

change to make the Tory Ministry
very unstable, and the Liberals and
Radicals who went off under the lead
ership OF Chamberlain and Harting-
ton are very apt to find their way back
to the old standard in the condition
of public sentiment indicated by these

THE HERALD is indebted to Gen.
VIM. Vandever, the sitting member
of Congress for the Sixth Congress-
ional district of California, for a pack
age of garden seeds. This is a kindly
remembrance which affects one of the
editors of this journal very poignant
ly. While returning thanks to the
venerable donor, the editor aforesaid
hopes to have the opportunity of re-
turning the compliment at a later
stage of the session, when his frank
may also be effectual. In which
event he may enable his Ventura
friend. to cultivate approved Savoy
cabbages and other garden truck as an
incident of the sitting member grace
fully yielding place to the contestant.
But thanks all the same. The re.
membrance is gracious and opportune
and the seeds will be placed where
they will do the most good.

5000, 900 so raised 200 miles could be
graded by the time the Legislature
would meet and pass the needed legis-
lation. The bonds of this city at G
per cent. would sell at par, and the
road would with that amount be
completed to Tintic. After that
there would be no trouble in
unloading the bonds as fast as the
money would be needed, and in
eighteen months the road should be
completed through to the coast. 1t is
matter of vital importance. By
subscribing for $500, 900 of the stock
the city would see ITS realty doubled
in value within the next twelve
months; it would see its trade more
than doubled-it would see a trans
tiguration. Suppose the city were
only to guarantee the interest on
$500, 900 to the company for ten years
the company, after ten years, to re-
turn the money in yearly payments
for ten years; that would be safe.
But the better way would be to sub
scribe directly for the stock. That
would insure the city an income from
the road of $4,000 per annum for all
time to come. That would insure
some sewers, some pavements, some
parks; it would remove the village
look and cause it to take on the APP
pearance of a real city. OF course
we actually know nothing of the mat
ter, but we believe the Utah q Ne
vada or Salt Lake and Western
might be purchased OF the Union Pa
cific and easy terms contracted with
that company to do the needed freight
ing for the company, for time; the
little road could be easily made a
standard guage and by the time the
snow comes the road could be driven
well out toward Dutch Mountain and
Furber District Once there, the road
ought to have daily revenue of $4,000
With that, every eight days profit
would build a mile of new road. 1t is
clear case that the only difficulty
about the matter is to start it. Is there
not enterprise enough here to make 4
move? We believe that were ten mer
to organize the company and send one
of their number East, he.could secure
the needed funds to build the road tc
the Nevada line in week, for it is q
project which is of kind that attracts
attention from Eastern capitalists
quicker than any other form of specu'
lative investment.

PERHAPS one of the most singular
things connected with the recent de-
velopment of Los Angeles county is
the little interest that has thus lar
been taken in the country near Dow
ney City. Nearly every portion OF the
county has had real estate boom OF
the first magnitude. Strangely enough
it has skipped Downey City, while ap-
pearing at Anaheim, Orange, Santa
Ana, Tustin City, and even at San
Juan Capistrano, the latter place at
the extreme southern end OF the
county. Real estate enhancement has
flirted to one side and embraced Fulton
Wells, but still it has given Downey
City the go-by, or, ii not that outright,
it has appeared there in the very
mildest form. And yet, OF all the rich
spots in the State of California, this is
probably the very richest. Nowhere

grow higher or yield more prolifically
than in the Nietos Valley; and for
grapes, walnuts and innumerable other
products, it has no superior anywhere.
This neglect does not arise
from lack OF railway facilities, for
it is right in the track OF the old and
the new railway projects. Some OF the
good people of Downey complain OF
this discrimination, but perhaps they
are in part responsible for it them
selves. Who wants to sell lands that
yield hundred bushels of corn and
five tons of grapes to the acre? All
the same, splendid opening for spec
ulation lies ready to the hand of some
enterprising real estate syndicate IL

has been all over California remarked

If fortunes can be made by laying out
townsites where water is procured al
great expense and against almost in
superable difficulties, how much more
attractive and promising for colonial
projects is a section where bitches
ramify everywhere, and the unfailing
river gives guarantee of perpetual
fertility? The matter is worthy OF the
attention of capitalists.

railway. 1t is to be hoped that the
citizens of Salt Lake will take the
steps suggested by our Utah contem-
porary. Our own people ought to be
relied upon to attend to this end OF
the line, which would develop coun-
try of great mineral and other possi-
